Abstract: A generally flat, rectangular rubber pad supports (63) discrete, non-invasive electrodes in a 7 by 9 array and a ground electrode to collect surface electromyographic (EMG) signals from an underlying muscle group of a patient. Electronic apparatus conditions the EMG signals and is programmed to survey the electrode array simultaneously to provide a description of the activity of individual muscles in the muscle group at that point in time. The description is displayed on a video monitor or the like, juxtaposed over a display of normal muscle anatomy, with differences being emphasized by color enhancement. The electrode pad is particularly suited for the lower back muscle groups and may be retained in position by a lumbar support belt having a pad molded to the contours of the human spine.

Abstract: Natural fibers whose surfaces have been plated with titanium oxide. Scoured wool is immersed in a solution of acetic anhydride (10 weight %) in DMF (90 weight %). The solution containing the wool is heated to 50  DEG C and kept at this temperature for 30 minutes to make the wool anionic. This wool is washed in water and then immersed in a 2.0 % owf aqueous solution of at least either of a titanium alkoxide and titanium fluoride at ordinary temperature for 30 minutes. Subsequently, a 0.5/l/l (by weight) mixture of boric acid, cirtric acid, and D, L-malic acid is added to the aqueous solution in an amount of 0.5 owf. The wool is thus treated at 50  DEG C for 30 minutes and then washed in water. Thus, natural fibers whose surfaces have been plated with titanium oxide can be obtained.
